Yeah, I know. And babies aren't dogs.

My friend is visiting from the US and I'm watching her kid while she is at work. Her kid is the same age as my older kid. I tried to watch both kids and the baby one day. Fuck that.
Thank god (this is the flame part) that my baby got sick bc I have an excuse for sending my toddler to kindergarten. But honestly, I'm just not cut out for multiple kids at home.

I'm not happy about lurkergate.

Around $800-1200. We'll probably start TTC in about 2 years, so while we technically could afford one, it's not a very cost-effective method. Also, I'm not sure if any doctors visits related to the IUD (insertion, follow-ups, removal) would be covered, so that's another 200 per visit, I think. (Is that how much uninsured visits are? That's what I remember from our Insurance statements anyway.)

Wowzers.
Over here they are 150-350euro. Universal health care and collective bargaining for the win.

I buy almost every baby product that someone links to on his board. It's like I can't stand the idea of there being something that my LO might need that she doesn't have.

We have Rachel's naming ceremony tomorrow and have ton of family coming into town. My cousin is already here. She went to culinary school and I fully intend to take advantage of her skills to get the food ready.

I'm also pissed that my apartment complex planned a pool party at exactly the same time as our ceremony. The pool is right out side the room we are using for our event. They promised me multiple times that they would try to keep the area clear during our ceremony and then they plan a damn party. The residents of my building are notorious for walking through other people's events and helping themselves to food. They better stay away from my lox and bagels cause I will cut a bitch.

Check Planned Parenthood if you have one in the area. I worked at two different affiliates in Texas and the total cost of insertion/follow up was around $300. Prices could be different regionally, but if you're really interested, that may be worth looking into.

I'm currently a SAHM. It happened because we owned our own business for 4 years and I worked from home. We've now shut that down and DH has a job. I've been looking for a job to help with income, but honestly I just need a break from dd. I love her so much and I know I will miss her immensely while I'm working. My husband doesn't help much unless I tell him exactly what I need. I told him that would have to change when I work.

TL/DR. I want to work to have a break from dd and DH is a douchebag.
Edited because I've had no fucking sleep and misspelled a few words.

Same confession here. I don't understand why a person would continue to share on a board when 99.9% of the people ignore her. It's like posting in invisible ink. No one responds to her posts. No one likes her posts. There may be a few exceptions but VERY FEW. She has never even introduced herself besides her BF/FF morals shannanigans. We have never seen her kids or even heard much mention of them. Get a hobby besides basically talking to yourself on an online forum. End of my Lc#s talk for the day.
Eta: and I am sure she is writing some stupid come back with a stupid GIF and I will ignore it. So don't waste your time honey!

No sads @KuhaBaby - I did love the Morris!  Just had to get int the convo on bragging about Ivy League schools.  Come on?  We had horsees break loose during soccer practice and invade our field.  Who wouldn't love that!?!?!

At least when I had mine put in, the $800 included the IUD, insertion, and a strings check after.  Prior to that first Mirena, I was paying $15-30/mo copay for birth control pills, so that was $180-360/year, so the IUD broke even at 2-3 years, and of course it's good for 5.  So it's not necessarily a bad deal.  It just depends on the details of what type of contraceptive you're using, how long, and whether you work for somewhere that doesn't cover contraceptives or have no prescription coverage.

I got a new manager about a year ago and she is beyond excellent.  My old manager was an idiot who took credit for my work, screwed off all day, worked on her masters degree while at work and then asked me to proofread her papers, did ZERO to help push my career forward etc.... She sucks.  Here's my confession - my new manager is onsite, the old one was several states away... there are days I want the old one back so I can jack around at work and not have anyone there to see it!

Here's my confession. When I see pics of me in my wedding dress, I get mad/sad. I went on Prednisone a few days before my wedding because of my acne had flared up. (I have chronic cystic acne) Instead of bloating, I randomly dropped water weight. It looks like I lost all of my boobs, and the top half of my dress didn't fit at all. Then, my aunt picked up the wrong crenolin thing, so my dress looked funny and long on me. Our wedding was almost 6 years ago, so I feel stupid for still feeling this way.

Oh man I have a few-

I give the babies sippy cups

I'm working from home today which really just means I'll be bumping and doing laundry

I get disappointed when celebrities lock their Instagram.  Subsequently, I was happy when Jenelle Evans unlocked her Instagram.

Ok real one. At 8:30pm EST I will be screaming and crying like a child when Barry Gibb walks out on stage and he begins to sing. I have waited almost my ENTIRE lyyyyyfe for that moment and never thought it would happen after his brothers passed away. Most of you don't even know who he is but he is a music LEGEND. Not for all of the disco stuff but for almost 50, yes 50 years of amazing music. Bee Gees for lyyyyyffe!!!!!! Jalee exclamation poooooints!!!!

Ever since we talked about houses (oh, I don't know... 3 weeks ago?) I have been on a non-stop housing search. It's a bad habit especially since we're not planning on going anywhere for 5-7 years. And then I get mad when I find a house I love and it sells. What is wrong with me?

The who do you love poll spurred today's confession. I loved my late dog more than DH. He was well aware.

I'm really over the whole LCnumbers thing. If you are so intent on ignoring her, then really ignore her, don't post every couple of weeks about "oh, I hate her, I'm ignoring her, and she isn't wanted around these parts." That isn't ignoring her.

Frankly, I think that if she has the balls to stick it around in a hostile environment, all the more power to her. I thought the whole uproar was stupid in the first place and probably fueled by boredom. I choose to believe that what she said, what she meant, and what was interpreted was just a giant manufactured snafu.

Flame away.

Agreed, why waste time hating someone over the interneets. Just #letitgo. Right, QM?

I just hate that she comes in and ruins good threads by being a Debbie Downer. Or tells us to not baby proof our houses and instead supervise our babies. Like we already don't. I don't ignore her and answer when she is being a normal poster but then she just kept coming in with her asshattery and I'm sick of it.

Phalaenopsis

@Jenball717‌ yes, she can be a Debbie downer. But apparently she also likes parties! <:-P You can't get along with everyone all the time. On the Internet.

I'm in the same boat as you with the insurance that opted out of preventative care.  Thanks insurance.  The cheapest IUD I found was $900 through planned parenthood...boo.

I may change my poll of ever slapping my mom to I may. 

GearUp

Regarding buying/selling houses: We do plan to move in about two years or so and I stalk Trulia and Zillow on the daily. I swore up and down that I found "THE" house for us and it sold relatively quick. I was sad, but I kept the address on a word document on my desktop. It could be on the market again in like two years and I don't want to miss it.

My FFFC:

Tiny back story - My neighbors are really into their yard. Like seriously into maintenance and landscaping. Their yard looks great and it makes our cul de sac look better. However, when we first moved in, these neighbors (who for the most part, are really nice people) came over and chit chatted about who keeps their yard up and who doesn't. It was like they threw this gauntlet down. I have let my grass get a little too long about three times in the past four years and they have come over to mow it, but it was a pretty passive aggressive act on their parts. 

Confession:

After running a couple errands last night, I purposely parked my car kind of awkward in my driveway. My reasoning - it won't allow my neighbor to drive his lawnmower up into my yard and mow it for me. The kicker: Between Tee ball practice and gymnastics class, I probably won't be able to mow my grass until Sunday and in all honesty, I could use their help.

TL;DR: I blocked my neighbors from trying to mow my grass because their "helpfulness" has less than altruistic motives and it makes me feel bad. Instead of allowing them to help me when I need it like a normal adult would, I rather let my grass look untidy for a few more days.

I'm with you, I did believe what she said too and really do not care one way or another..sometimes she is witty, sometimes not...but that is everyone on here at times.  Just like yesterday I did not get offended at the crate thing even though I crate my dog...ehh who cares..

--------------------------------------------------
I don't like her. That's my story and I am sticking to it. And I used to GIF away at her and answer back at her asshat comments. I don't anymore. So I do consider myself ignoring her. However, I am agreeing with jenballnumbers FFFC that don't like her. If that makes me 'playing into her banter' it is what it is.

I just can't help responding to her comments that are so ridiculous. #kidsarenotdogs is one I couldn't let slide. We are not morons, and @petdocd‌ did not do all of our deliveries.
And yesterday she, in a I'm going to do this but not seem like I'm doing this, called me a bitch.

And you totes schooled her in GIFS

Let me preface this with I have no problem if you crate your dog because when I had a fur baby I crated him. FFFC: I have been judging my neighbor for the past week or so for leaving her dog on the patio in a crate in this Texas heat. I just don't understand why she won't put him in the crate on the inside. It gives me the sads and I even thought about writing her a note.

I would call animal control! That's terrible!! Even here in Indiana where it's only 70 right now, I would call animal control if I saw somebody doing that!

I think the flame free part you are going for here is that you have NOT YET called animal control. I'm still going to flame you. Call please.

@gearup my next door neighbor pulls my weeds for me, ties my peonies, prunes roses...somewhere around 3-10 hours a week. She's retired, widowed, and loves to garden. Really I'm doing her a favor by letting her, right? Right???
